March 15-22, 2008 Eastern - Way-Way Early Check In

[pop5]

I cant believe it- we got an upgrade!! They called today to say that there was a problem and our room wasnt in working order. So, we got upgraded from an 11 to an 8. We have never been in an inside cabin before and I was really going to miss a view. We have 2 rooms and one was an 11 and the other is a 9. Now we have an 8 and 9. This just made my day. By the way, we are on Southwest this weekend. What are you guys thinking about the latest reports?? Paige

Congratulations on the upgrade!

I haven't heard of any problems with Southwest. What are the reports?

 

[happymommy]

I was a bit concerned about Southwest, but worst case scenario, we fly Jetblue out of Dulles (thank goodness I bought good insurance through Travelguard) or drive 12 hours.

Congrats on the upgrade, Paige!

I pack tomorrow!

Paige that is so cool What a surprise!

3 MORE DAYS

Finishing up some last minute preparations. My sister, her family, and my mom are on the road now and we will meet up with them on Friday.

Hmm... wonder if you got our room

We got a call today as well. And an upgrade from 8 to 5!!!! Whole family is doing happy dances about the verandah

We're still on deck 7 and forward, but now we're back further - between the forward and midship elevators, rather than forward of the forward elevators.

As far as Southwest goes... they *should* have done it earlier... and I'm glad they've been fined. I'm also glad they have to do these inspections *now* rather than after the trip... or the day before the trip. It's a specific area that is being inspected, and my guess is that by the time Friday afternoon rolls around they'll have finished... or at least close. Now whether it overfills the planes more or whatever...

I've got two alarms set for times approaching our flight time tomorrow evening... so that we can try *very* hard to do our boarding pass on-line and maybe even get lucky and get A boarding.

Meanwhile... no, I haven't finished packing - that's tomorrow's job for me (among many others). But both kids and DH have preliminary packing done... so just have to double-check tomorrow. Went out and bought DS a "dress shirt" (don't like the material, but...) have to wash it tonight/tomorrow morning so it gets packed with the suit.

Way, way, way too much to do still... and way, way, way, way too little time to get it done.

Liz- how funny. What was your cat. 8 stateroom #? Someone else must have cancelled because the ship was totally full. I have gotten alot done, still more to do. I am so ready for Saturday. Paige

 

[pop5]

Ok Liz- dont post that #. I did get your room. Thanks!!

 

[DisDancerina]

I wish I was a millionare and could afford to go

 

[cozit]

LOL, don't thank me! Thank whoever disappeared so that I could move up! They did both of us a favor

 

[pop5]

Yes they did!! I am glad about this location too. I am doing a RCCL cruise in a couple of months and have a very foward location on that ship. I hope to get to meet you. What age are you? I am the big 40.

 

[DisDancerina]

Wow, what a very small world! (Or should I say ship?)

Older than you... but not by much I told my kids a little over a year ago that they could just say that I was "40-something" for a while now... and I'd just seem to be younger looking for the next decade

We've got plans to meet up with folks before boarding, and for icecream (assuming boarding is early enough that we get ourselves fed in time to get up there!)

(I really should be getting something "real" done... but I'm trying to get a program to behave itself so I can take music with me... About to give up for the night though)

 

[Gretel]

I haven't even started packing yet!!!!

 

[happymommy]

I haven't started packing yet, either! Just going to do so today.

Got some stuff set aside in the guest room, so it should be fine.

I don't like this time change - we're eating breakfast in the dark! Why don't they just leave the time alone already????

Gotta check in for our Southwest flight this morning! Hope for "A" so we can fit our carry ons overhead okay.

Have fun getting ready everyone!

Anyone using Budget rental car from the airport or back - my rate just dropped about in half! It's only $46 one way from the airport and $38 back, using the link from this website! Plus tax of course.

That's awesome! There's so much pixie dust in the air, I can almost feel it all the way in Arizona!

 

[DisneyDaysLV]

Thank you happymommy. We are using Budget for 2-day rentals before and after the cruise and just booked new rate with the discount you suggested and saved a total of $175!!!!!!

 

[PixyDusted]

I was going to start packing last night but uh....I got distracted and didn't.

We're by the forward elevators in the "7s". We have a cute markerboard with fun foam on it and Mickey ears that will have circles inside saying what day of the cruise it is!

Our friends just saved some money as well!

I really REALLY need to get back to packing now! Those darn snorkels are taking up one whole suitcase! Oh well...
